    Regarding design #51

    It's a nice clean look for sure. The header and navigation heights seem too much though. Takes up a lot of real estate.

    My apologies, I forgot to add a bottom border, but there will be one, of course. Probably in the same green as on the navigation background, or in a gentle blue, like the portfolio preview bar background. It's up to you.

    I've tried again. Keeping the template as easy as possible for updates, and attractive and clean at the same time, without all the information crammed into boxes.

    Hope I've done a better job to your liking.

    An easy update template, attractive, and symbolic to a "green building construction" industry. Also optional, the picture on the left, can be coded for animation with other photos in your portfolio, similar coding to what msn.com uses for their ad change. (It loads 10x faster than any flash file.)

    I think more than anything it's the colors and/or graphic seperators. The layout is fine - works well.

    That's alright. You may not find anything wrong with the design, but it's just "not you." I understand! If I have the time, I will try again. Thanks for your, um, partial feedback. :D

    Not sure what feedback to give you. There isn't really anything that I can point to as not fitting or wrong per se. I'm going to refrain from giving a rating until I can give decent feedback.

    Submitted design #26

    A web design that reflects a construction company, with great use of white space, and branding scheme that says "you're green."
    - Design images would be sliced for speedy loading
    - Ability to add to navigation menu
    - Sub-navigation menu would be built below main navigation, horizontally

    I am also an intermediate web programmer, and could code it in, once design is approved.
